Washington State football has been in a dark stretch for some time, as they haven't made a bowl since 2003 and haven't won more than four games since 2007. Remarkably, they still had the 9th-best passing attack last season (more than 3,900 yards) behind quarterbacks Jeff Tuel and Connor Holliday, who threw a combined 23 touchdowns but 21 interceptions. The offense was highly unbalanced, as leading rusher Carl Winston only got 85 carries for 3.3 yards per carry. In fact, they only scored six rushing touchdowns all year. Winston is gone, so Teondray Caldwell will take over the lion's share of carries. The Cougars were remarkably balanced at receiver with four guys making at least 42 receptions, and all of them return. Defense was a challenge for WSU and will be again, so they'll have to hope the offense can keep up. With a tough conference schedule as usual, Washington State is going to have to beat non-conference opponents to get their wins.
The Washington State Cougars are members of the Pac 12 Conference. They operate under head coach Mike Leach at Martin Stadium, which holds just over 35,000 fans. The Cougars have had a few famous NFL players throughout the years; however, currently the most notable include: Detroit Lions kicker Jason Hanson, Buffalo Bills kicker Rian Lindell, and Seattle Seahawks cornerback Marcus Trufant. The Cougars had a run in the early 2000's where they made a BCS game and were winning more than 10 games in a season. They have rivalries with Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Oregon State. Gold Coast Tickets does not want you to miss out on the action as the Cougars look to top the Pac 12. Gold Coast Tickets has the best selection for all your college football needs this season!

beautiful terrariums!
Anyone have a good resource for information on making one of those things? I tried making two and they just shriveled up and died. which is strange they seemed moist enough. i think i need some directions to follow on my next attempt.
Yes! I would love to make some of these with my own odd or reclaimed bottles.
It seems crazy to buy one and have it shipping half-way across the country.
@adamwa -- there's a lot of info online regarding terrarium composition. Also a great resource (a guide to putting them together as well as ideas for designing your own little ecosystem) is _The New Terrarium_ by Tovah Martin.
I have a few which have been thriving for years. Light source is important (indirect is best) and also, making sure it's not _overly_ moist. They don't need too much water in their contained environment.
My next project is to do one in an absolutely huge apothecary jar I purchased from West Elm (in their bathroom section).
It's not just the greenery I like in these, it's the mini scaping using lots of nest found objects -- interesting bits of driftwood, seaglass, rocks, etc. Also a 'shroom I purchased from Mud Puppy. Fun stuff!
I'd really like to watch a video so I can see just how all of those plants and rocks are so carefully placed in the bottles with smaller necks...
my little apartment: there's a video on designsponge
Air plants need good circulation kids!
I particularly like the mad scientist type containers. :)
oh, thanks, limelightshines!

Financial Incentives Propel Small Wind Program
Source: NV Energy
Nevada's small wind turbine rebate program is picking up speed. Electric utility NV Energy began offering its WindGenerations program to most of its 1.2 million Nevada customers in August 2008, and 20 projects generating 58.4 kilowatts have since been completed. Applications are pending for another 110 installations.
Rebates for residential customers and small businesses, including agricultural power users, range from $2.50 per watt for turbines up to 10 kilowatts and $1.50 per watt for installations over 10 kilowatts. Incentives for schools and public buildings are $3 per watt up to 10 kilowatts and $2 per watt over 10 kilowatts. Thus far, $147,300 in incentives has been paid.
The Nevada State Legislature created the wind program in 2007, along with a micro hydroelectric program that offers incentives for farmers and ranchers to harness power from streams. Nevada's successful photovoltaic incentive program, SolarGenerations, has been available since 2004.
"The greatest challenge for a program like ours is starting with a fledgling industry," said John Hargrove, project manager for NV Energy's wind, solar and hydro incentive programs. "When we started we didn't have many contractors who understood wind power. As we continue to train the contractor base and make our customers aware of wind energy and our incentive programs, the industry is taking off."
Added Hargrove, "The goal for WindGenerations is 5 megawatts. The program is just getting the wind under its wings and moving forward. We hope this effort becomes as popular as our SolarGenerations program."

Summary of V Is for Vulnerable Summary of V Is for Vulnerable Reviews for V Is for Vulnerable An Excerpt from V Is for Vulnerable
A full-color ABC book for grown-ups, with a powerful message about doing great work
V is for Vulnerable looks and feels like a classic picture book. But it's not for kids, it's for hardworking adults. It highlights twenty-six of Seth Godin's principles about treating your work as a form of art, with illustrations by acclaimed cartoonist Hugh MacLeod. A sample:
A is for Anxiety, which is experiencing failure in advance. Tell yourself enough vivid stories about the worst possible outcome and you'll soon come to believe them. Worry is not preparation, and anxiety doesn't make you better.
F is for Feedback, which can be either a crutch or a weapon. Use it to make your work smaller, safer, and more likely to please everyone (and fail in the long run). Or use it as a lever to further push you to embrace what you fear and what you're capable of.
This is unlike any previous Godin book and makes a great gift, both for loyal fans and those who've never read him before.

Steven Thomas is a partner with Irell & Manella LLP and head of their art law practice group. Mr. Thomas has advised on the many varied aspects of the purchase, auction, sale, and collection of fine art, cultural property, fine collector cars, memorabilia and collectables, including national and international transactions among private collectors, dealers, museums, galleries, and auction houses. His practice in these areas involves addressing the key elements of such transactions, including title, authenticity, condition, value and provenance, as well as due diligence and pitfalls and protections for buyers and sellers. Mr. Thomas' practice also includes consideration of foreign, federal, and state tax consequences (including sales, use, income, and personal property taxes, and tax deferred exchanges); customs export and import concerns; art insurance (including art insurance review and negotiation of policy terms, provisions and endorsements); intellectual property (copyright, right of publicity and trademark), and domestic and foreign moral rights concerns; resale royalties; and cultural heritage, treaty, and patrimony matters, among others, as well as negotiating and drafting purchase and sale agreements, bills of sale, escrow agreements, consignment agreements, appraisal agreements, art advisor and consulting agreements, review on approval agreements, and introduction agreements.
As an example, in 2006, Mr. Thomas represented Maria Altmann and the other Bloch-Bauer heirs and negotiated the sale of what was internationally recognized at the time as the world's most valuable painting, Gustav Klimt's "gold" portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I, restituted to the Bloch-Bauer heirs by Austria. Mr. Thomas has also advised on several other world record-setting art transactions, including the most valuable American painting ever sold. Mr. Thomas counts among his clients some of the world's foremost collectors, foundations and artists, and several of his clients are trustees at a variety of museums. In addition to his work involving fine art, Mr. Thomas has also negotiated and advised on world record-setting transactions involving high-end collector automobiles, including negotiating the consignment agreement and advising on the sale in May 2010 of the world's most valuable car – the Williamson 1936 Bugatti 575C Atlantic.
On behalf of private collectors, Mr. Thomas has extensive experience negotiating auction (and private sale) consignment agreements with the world's leading auction houses, including some of the largest ever single owner fine art auction consignments and auction house guarantees, with several resulting in world auction records. In 2012, Mr. Thomas represented the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts regarding its collection of Warhol artworks, including negotiating the precedent-setting long-term consignment arrangement to sell artwork from the Foundation's collection through Christie's in live auctions, online auctions and private sales, establishing a new frontier for artist foundations in the global market. Mr. Thomas has also written an in-depth article on negotiating auction consignments for collectors, titled "Auction Consignment Agreements: Pitfalls and Planning Strategies," published in the April 2009 edition of Estate Planning magazine.
Representing private collectors, Mr. Thomas has drafted and negotiated loan agreements for single and multiple works of art to numerous museums, both nationally and internationally, including addressing tax, copyright, insurance, export, import, and anti-seizure concerns, among other matters. Mr. Thomas has also advised on public and private commissions of art, involving individual and multiple works for large public and private developments including stadium arenas, town centers and major retail and resort projects.
Besides his teaching at UCLA School of Law, Mr. Thomas has lectured on art law at USC Gould School of Law and the University of Florida Warrington College of Business Administration's Poe Center for Business Ethics. Mr. Thomas also lectures at conferences (including a variety of ALI-ABA and other bar association conferences, the USC Tax Institute, the Heckerling Institute, Museum Trustees Association, and the USPTO Global Intellectual Property Academy), museums, legal education programs, art fairs and art-related gatherings (including IFAR, Los Angeles Art Fair and ARCOmadrid) and universities.
Mr. Thomas has also authored articles on art law issues in a variety of publications, and authored an in-depth, practical guide for art collectors entitled, "An Overview of Issues of Interest to the Art Collector." Mr. Thomas has been featured and quoted, and some of the transactions he has handled or advised on have been described, in a variety of articles regarding legal issues and other matters of interest to art collectors, including The Associated Press, Bloomberg, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, the Los Angeles Times, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, Forbes, the Art Newspaper, Art & Auction, ARTnews, BBC, Robb Report, Estate Planning Journal, BNA State Tax Notes, ABA Journal, Los Angeles Business Journal, Los Angeles Daily Journal, San Francisco Daily Journal and Private Wealth Management, among others. Mr. Thomas is also a member of the NY Museum of Modern Art Planned Giving Advisory Committee, and serves on the Board of the Inner City Law Center, a non-profit legal aid organization in Los Angeles.

Tackling the Miami Dolphins Laundry
- Details
- Created on Saturday, 02 February 2002 12:35
- Written by Petra Lattmann
DAVIE, FLA -- The grueling sport of football poses many challenges for Tony Egues, head equipment manager of the Miami Dolphins. Whether the team is in training, playing at home or traveling for a game, the uniforms for approximately 110 people, including players, coaches and support staff, must always be clean and presentable for another hard days work on the gridiron.A typical laundry day runs between eight and ten hours and the core laundry handled in-house daily by Egues, his two full-time employees and two full-time interns are the player's undergarments, including shorts, jocks, socks, and cotton T-shirts and girdles. These items are place in individual mesh bags and washed in one of three Milnor 50-pound washer/extractors. Drying is handled by three Cissell 75 pound gas-fired units.
For tracking purposes, Egues, a self-professed believer in neatness and professional appearance, had special embroidered tags made with each player's number and coach's initials. These are sewn into every individual garment and the mesh bags by the team's seamstress. At practice sessions, the mesh shorts and short- or long-sleeve performance T-shirts worn are washed in house and then hung to dry in each individual's locker because the material, designed to wick moisture away from the body, would be ruined if placed in a dryer.
To determine solutions that would maximize washer performance against perspiration, blood and other body fluids and ensure that germs were killed off effectively, Egues partnered with Ecolab to evaluate washer chemical usage.
Uniform jerseys and pants require different laundry tactics. First, they are placed in tubs for up to eight hours in a protein release solution to remove blood and grass stains. The jerseys are then laundered in-house while the pants are sent to a local dry cleaner in order to remove the ground-in paint used to decorate the playing fields with team logos and even brighten the green grass itself.
"It's supposed to be a water-based paint, but it doesn't agree with the Lycra material in the pants and we have found it to very difficult to get out, a problem not only for us but for the other NFL teams as well," noted Egues. Coaches' game uniforms, consisting of pants and collared shirts, also go to the dry cleaner, in large part because they must be 100 percent wrinkle free and currently the laundry room does not have any press equipment.
For games held away from home, all items worn are placed in trunks, transported back to Miami, sorted and then laundered as usual. Bath towels, ranging from 800 used during each practice or game up to 1400 during training camp, are handled by a local laundry service, a setup inherited by Egues when he was promoted to head equipment manager seven years ago. By comparing price and performance, costs were reduced by 56 percent and at 42 cents per towel, the price has held steady over the past three years.
"Most NFL teams do their towels in-house, so by those standards, our laundry room is very small," said Egues. By pulling together a combination of approaches to handling the Miami Dolphins' laundry, Egues tackles a tough job, scoring a touchdown for the team in his own way.

text: I first came to the Aspen/Snowmass area in 1972 as a young student attending the University of Colorado, and immediately fell in love with the beauty of the Roaring Fork Valley and the diverse recreational opportunities readily available. Through the years my passion for the lifestyle afforded by this unique community has only continued to grow and flourish! I have been an active investor in resort property through the years with real estate investments in several resort communities across the West. This has allowed me to compare and contrast what Aspen/Snowmass has to offer investors compared to "the competition". There is no comparison! No other resort community offers the combination of beauty, value, recreational opportunities, and other intangibles that this region offers to residents and investors. In addition to brokering and investing in real estate, I have owned and operated a property rental business in Aspen/Snowmass representing 100's home owners with their rental needs. Working with these home owners and prospective renters has given me a unique perspective regarding the rental dynamic that I bring to the real estate investment decision-making process. My honesty, sincerity, and real estate investment background are some of the attributes I bring to the table when you work with me as your broker. My passion and dedication, combined with boundless energy and enthusiasm, will ensure that "no stone is left unturned" when it comes to helping you with your real estate needs.

Network World - ORLANDO -- Any enterprise looking to use cloud computing services will also be digging into what laws and regulations might hold in terms of security and privacy of data stored in the cloud. At the Cloud Security Alliance Congress in Orlando this week, discussion centered on two important regulatory frameworks now being put in place in Europe and the U.S.
Are lawyers getting in the way of cloud-based security?
The European Union, with its more than two dozen countries, has had a patchwork of data-privacy laws that each country created to adhere to the general directive set by the EU many years ago. But now there's a slow but steady march toward approving a single data-privacy regulation scheme for EU members.
These proposed rules published by the EU earlier this year may not become law until 2016 or later as they involve approval by the European Parliament, said Margaret Eisenhauer, an Atlanta-based attorney with expertise in data-privacy law.
Europe, especially countries such as Germany, already takes a stricter approach to data protection than the U.S., with databases holding individual's personal information having to be registered with government authorities, and rules on where exactly data can be transmitted. "European law is based on the protection of privacy as a fundamental human right," Eisenhauer said.
The benefit of the proposed EU regulation is that EU countries will, in theory, present a uniform approach instead of a patchwork of rules. The so-called "Article 29 Working Party Opinion" of proposed law specially addresses use of cloud computing, and it presents cloud providers and users with a long list of security-control requirements.
In addition, cloud providers must offer "transparency" about their operations — something some are reluctant to do today, Eisenhauer said.
The proposed regulations also allude to how cloud-based computing contracts should be established. Among many requirements, "you have to state where the data will be processed," Eisenhauer said, plus where it will be accessed from. Customers have the right to "visit their data," she said, which means providers must be able to show the customer the physical and logical storage of it.
Some ideas could become the norm for Europe, such as the concept of the "right to be forgotten," which recognizes that individuals have a right not to be tracked across the Internet, which is often done through cookies today. This "privacy by default" concept means that Web browsers, for example, will likely be required to ship turned on by default to their newer "do not track" capabilities to be used in Europe. In Europe, "there are real concerns about behavioral targeting," said Eisenhauer.
Some European legal concepts suggest that even use of deep-packet inspection — often a core technology used in security products today to watch for signs of malicious activities on the network — could be frowned on under European law, and companies will need to be mindful of how deep-packet inspection is deployed, said Eisenhauer. Even today, use of security and information event management (SIEM) monitoring of employee network usage is something that does not easily conform to European ideas of data privacy.

About the Collection:
The thematically intertwined stories in Nathan Leslie's Sibs, the author's seventh collection, center around brothers and sisters. Often gritty and vivid, we see siblings bond, scrap, and everything in between. Many of these intense stories revolve around childhood and the stresses that siblings must overcome; others are concerned with brothers and sisters doing their best to make do with often tenuous, dysfunctional situations. Playing chess in a local park, two brothers are confronted by a strange young girl. Two sisters struggle with shopaholic behavior. A brother and sister defy spousal abuse. In 1970s America, two sisters move to a hippie commune and experience the unexpected. Sibs is set in remote corners of California, run-down Western Maryland towns, and in post-Industrial wastelands: this is America barely clinging to its sense of family and purpose. Stories from Sibs were originally published in North American Review, Gargoyle, Prick of the Spindle, StorySouth, JMWW, and Scribble.
Visit Nathan Leslie's author page to order this April 30, 2014 release.

Read the full review here. An excerpt: "Told through several perspectives—in letters and in the form of Myo's diary—the novel has the presence and solidity of an historical artifact, but humanity and its accompanying emotions—regret, humility, filial respect, burgeoning sexual love, purpose, and belonging—are ultimately what draw the reader into Myo's intriguing world."
Congratulations to Kevin P. Keating, whose debut novel, The Natural Order of Things, out from Aqueous on Nov. 30, 2012, landed a finalist spot in the Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction Category in the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony on April 19 in Los Angeles, preceding the April 20-21 Los Angeles Times Book Fair. Read more on the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes website.
Mihok's debut draws inspiration from quantum theory to imagine how one might live in an unpredictable or hostile world. The book has two main parts: a manual-style exposition of a "quantum style" of living that embraces uncertainty and change, and a complementary narrative about Tara, a girl growing up in Arizona, whose family is gradually disintegrating. A central tenet of the quantum style is dealing with "singularities," traumatic events that alter the course of life. Such trauma befalls Tara who wanders through the alt scene in Toronto, then Buffalo, trying to grasp tragedy. The more imaginative sections, meanwhile, offer translations of quantum theory into the banal, often funny, frame of everyday American middle-class life. Talk abounds of bosons, the universe, and other heady theoretical issues, but it's matched by quirky prose experiments like party dynamics rendered in quasi-computer code, miniature thought experiments about causality, and amusing scientistic commentary on the quantum importance of high school. While the narrative itself is forgettable and the aggressive whimsicality distracting, Mihok's prose is often witty and intellectually lively, with a charming mixture of high theory and humor that blends notes of Alan Lightman, Charles Yu, and Dada.
—Publishers Weekly, Print Edition, Jan. 21, 2013
This book is not for readers who like their short fiction uplifting, but rather for pragmatists interested in the intricacies of human frailty, the art of an unblinkingly unhappy plot, and the depth of dysfunction across families, friends, and foes.
—ForeWord Reviews
Beginning with "The Cottonwood Borer", a compact and powerful story told by a young girl about her mother's desire to be reincarnated as a as the titular figure, each story examines wildly different characters, from a young Indian girl who can't live up to her parents standards in "Asha Ma", to a lonely woman who buys storage units hoping to find emotional satisfaction in their unknown contents in "Whatcha Bid". The stories are most successful when they are at their darkest, displaying allegorical brilliance on the scale of a Sanskrit epic.
—Publishers Weekly
The Natural Order of Things is a dark and utterly compelling work with an unnervingly resonant vision of our present age. Excellent work by a fine young writer.
—Robert Olen Butler, author of twelve novels and recipient of both a Guggenheim Fellowship in fiction and a National Endowment for the Arts
Keating toys with narrative chronology in this debut collection of interwoven stories that follows the lives of several "reprobates who have descended into... Hades." At the center of an unnamed, ruined city of American industry thrives, tumorlike, a Jesuit high school and the Zanzibar Towers and Gardens, a flophouse where both students and alums slum it with prostitutes. In the opening story, "Vigil," students have gathered at the Zanzibar to celebrate Halloween and the next day's big football game with kegs of beer they stole from a senile priest in the final story, "Gehenna," that was delivered in the second story, "Box," by the father of star quarterback Frank "the Minotaur" McSweeney. "I'm counting on you. We all are," says the Minotaur's father, but the day of the big game, as in all the connected stories, we find out just how big a letdown everyone in this life can be. Story by story, the collection circumnavigates suffering—someone lights the homeless on fire at night; a merchant marine boxes up a man to ship him overseas; priests humiliate and shame their students, while one teacher loves them too much—in a place where most of its inhabitants "would rather gamble on a human life than try to save one."

Whether Peak (Surface Tension) is better understood as part of the new extremity represented by Blake Butler or as a language-pushing experimentalist like Gary Lutz, the underground that he claims as his territory doesn't get much more subterranean than this. Literary and horror culture converge in stories that name-check George Romero only to make it clear that urban life is far more horrifying than roving hordes of hungry undead. The grisly "Helping Hands" proves that modern horror needn't stoop to bogeymen with violence in the Sudan a reality, and the viscerally disturbing title story is right to declare that it's only when one looks closely that things begin to break down. Then there are the faceless nightmares plaguing modern apartments, sending "Strange Signals from the Center of the Earth," the wartime dead that book passage on the "Trauma Train," and the Gogol-inspired "Diary of the Possessed," in which Lucifer is consigned to a madman's rotten tooth. When literal things that go bump in the night do appear, as in "The Four Humours," it's as the demonic incarnation of vast silence, blood, and childhood fears. The influence of avant-garde poetry and late-night television are equally plain in Peak's short stories, making this an authentic new evil that will appeal to readers drawn to the weird.

Custred, a professor of folklore, takes readers into the secret world of the Amish in the American Midwest. The novella takes place in Westover County, a shrinking community of Pennsylvania Dutch, forgotten by time and "scattered across the countryside like relics of times past" since the settlement's primary industry, grain processing, was outsourced to a nearby town. Custred follows two characters of the region--Stanley, a carpenter with a bachelor's degree in English; and Katie, the eldest daughter of a domineering Amish father and caretaker of her little siblings. Separately, Stanley and Katie have disturbingly close encounters with a menacing animal presence, though each dismisses their respective experiences as superstition. When Stanley inherits some money from his only relative, he builds a cabin on a remote river; soon after, he and Katie meet and marry. Custred spends the majority of the book setting the scene and describing the quiet, uneventful practicality of a country marriage, with the most dynamic action being inclement weather--until the phantasm of the beast begins to draw Katie out into the bleak night, with terrible consequences. ...Custred does an admirable job of creating an uneasy atmosphere in this brief book...

Dubbed "haunting" and "unforgettable" by Publishers Weekly, Barrett Hathcock's collection of interwoven short stories promises to leave you enthralled. Pre-order here. Book publishes Nov. 30, 2011.
"Peter Traxler is missing something. Ever since he left his family, his friends, and his adolescence behind in Jackson, Miss., he's feeling lost. Despite the outward appearance of success—job, acquaintances, girlfriends—Peter is melancholy, his thoughts returning often to the past: "cotton diving" with his best friend Jeremy; sexual encounters with the local girls; the loss of his father and its impact on his mother; teenage angst bubbling over into semiviolent outbursts. His connection to his old friends is growing weak and distant; "when you've been on party manners with so many people for so long, it's hard not to growl," he says. Hathcock's captivating debut collection of nine closely linked stories reads much like a novel. While many take place in the 1990s, the powerful Mississippi setting often feels akin to the American farm culture of the 1950s (at least until Jeremy dresses up like Ricky Martin for Halloween, or Peter's Dad watches Nash Bridges on TV). The ghosts of the Old South are present throughout, even while the main character's struggles are distinctively contemporary. It's all here, the awkwardness of reconnecting with childhood friends, the impossibility of integrating your youth with your adulthood, the longing for home when home is a time and not a place: Hathcock writes haunting, unforgettable stories."

Aqueous Books sends its congratulations to Corey Mesler. His 2011 Aqueous release Notes Toward the Story & Other Stories is praised in Memphis newspaper The Commercial Appeal. Check it out here.
In this gorgeous debut, everything--physical and metaphysical--is a metaphor: the sea, the desert, thirst, motion, and stillness. A man wakes up in an island hospital after surviving a trans-Atlantic sailing accident and 18 days alone on a life raft. He tells the authorities that a whale bumped into his 36-foot sailboat and that his wife went down with the ship, hands gripping the wheel. A reporter who grew up in a family of modest means and immodest acts, his father a drunk who abused his mother, the protagonist is haunted by the ghost of his wife, who appears in flashbacks as a beautiful, monstrous, snobbish nag. The stress of everyday life seems like it would kill them both, since they were only happy together when they were on the boat. When the man is released from the hospital, he flees, possibly away from the truth, but mostly from himself. As much prose poem as novel, this is a melodious, eerie wisp of a book. Permalink here.

Aqueous Books publishes well-written literature--novels and short story collections--that are unique, unusual, or magical in some way, whether by way of theme, language, or some other trope. We are open to various genres: literary, magical realism, speculative fiction, slipstream, and memoirs.
Who are your favorite fiction writers?
AB: Margaret Atwood, Herman Melville, Peter Ackroyd, Flann O'Brien, Thomas Wolfe, and Annie Dillard.
What is the best advice you can give people who are considering submitting work to your publication?
AB: Proofread your work first and make sure it is the best it can be. A lot of publishers say "read what we publish," but for us, what we've published in the past is not a clear indicator of what we may publish in the future. The bottom line is to make sure your work is the best it can be before submitting it, and that will increase your chances of acceptance.
What is a day in the life of an editor like for you? Please give us a glimpse into your behind-the-scenes submission reading process.
AB: Normally, I print out the first 10-20 pages of every manuscript and sit down with a large-ish stack that's good for the better part of a day. I carefully consider each one. As I read, I go through and make editing marks on each document as though I were going to accept it, because at that stage, I don't really know what I will and will not be publishing. Once I get to the stage where I determine it's not right for Aqueous Books, I place it gently in the (you guessed it) rejection pile. The pieces that do not make it into that pile are generally those that I have read through stage one and still remain interested in. If I'm still wanting to read more after the initial printing of 10-20 pages, I'll print the next 20 or so pages, or if a short story collection, the next couple of stories. And it goes from there. If a manuscript is accepted, I contact the author and offer him or her a contract. There is often a lot of back and forth Q&A regarding the sample publishing contract I send out, and its terms, marketing and distribution, POD, and so forth. Once we get to a stage where the author understands our processes and the contract, I'll send the contract, both parties sign, and then we go through the editing and graphics stages before printing. My editor Erin McKnight is the co-editor for Aqueous Books. Generally, I'll send her a document with my edits, she adds hers, and then it's off to the author for revision.
How important do you feel it is for publishers to embrace modern technologies?
AB: I feel that it's vital. I'm the editor of a journal, Prick of the Spindle, and I made sure we were the first literary journal available as a Kindle magazine. I carry that same philosophy over to Aqueous Books: every book we publish has been and will be offered in electronic format. Right now, that includes a Kindle edition for every book published. We are also a Print-on-Demand (POD) publisher, so really, our entire printing and publishing process very much hinges on modern technology. Prick of the Spindle is, as of now, an online-only journal, accepting submissions (primarily) electronically, and which has a Kindle component; Aqueous Books is a POD publisher with a Kindle component, so it follows that social media outlets are important to us. Both the journal and the publishing company have a strong social media presence.
As a writer, editor, and publisher, I am heavily invested in utilizing modern technology for publishing. I have good reasons for this. Due to opportunity, or socioeconomic standing, or myriad other considerations, there are some publications and publishers that simply would not exist without technology like the Internet, POD, and desktop publishing. We're one of those. Technology levels the playing field in so many ways--you aren't required to have had wealthy parents or be a graduate of Emerson's publishing program, or have connections to one of the major New York publishers in order to become a successful publisher. The same technology is also leveling the playing field for writers. With so much opportunity just waiting to be seized, what makes those writers and publishers stand out is the quality of their work. That is what I love about technology: it provides an opportunity to put your talents to use and provide high quality work with a minimum of financial investment. My goal for Aqueous Books is to stand out based on the quality of the work we publish, and on a longer-term basis, to play a part in unseating some of the current notions about POD publishing.
Read full interview here.
We are pleased to announce Michael J. Atwood's (and our) debut collection, HiStory of Santa Monica. It is available direct from us, from Barnes & Noble, from Ingram Distribution, on Amazon.com, and as a Kindle edition. If you are a library or bookseller interested in stocking this book, please contact Cynthia Reeser at email@example.com
HiStory of Santa Monica is available from the following booksellers:
Shakespeare & Co. - Paris, France
Books on the Square - Providence, RI
Brown University - Providence, RI
Baker Books - Dartmouth, MA
Brookline Booksmith - Boston, MA
Village Books - Pacific Palisades, CA
Boston College Bookstore - Boston, MA
We the publishers at Aqueous Books realize that the online versus print debate is stale. Yes, we are well-read and up-to-date. We read HTML Giant. And such. However. We have been primarily, over at Prick of the Spindle, online-oriented. That is to say online-only, with a few mad forays into the likes of Office World* [*Note: Change World to depot and capitalize that D and you get what I mean].
What we're really saying here is that we're excited, and have been prepping the files to send to the printer, and now they are with the printer, and the proof copy is on its way, and those of you who have ordered will soon receive a work of art, sans such run-on sentences as this one: it will have been crafted by the author over many years, and edited, then edited again, then edited still again, then proofed, then re-proofed, then prepared for print publication...we realize we may be preaching to the choir, but we take such pride in our work that we are ecstatic to finally have arrived, that is, at the pre-publication stage.
This may be the pride of the noob; so be it. We are print noobs, and proud. We would jump up and down, and gently press ad copy before you, and then we would shake your hand and hope to see you again. Perhaps at our home for tea.

Today was perhaps the calm before the storm. No doubt Dodgers GM Ned Colletti was working all angles today, but here is a quick recap of what leaked out of Nashville today.
Dee Gordon is being shopped by the Dodgers, my guess is in a package for a starting pitcher, James Shields anyone? I will not be shocked at all if Gordon is traded in the next couple of days. Ken Rosenthal says that the Dodgers will only trade Gordon for a significant return.
The Dodgers are engaged with the New York Mets about R.A. Dickey. I am kinda thinking pass here, is it just me? This guy is 38, even in knuckleball years that's still old. I just don't think 2013 will have the same fortune for Dickey.
Colletti said he's yet to make offers to any free agents, writes Dylan Hernandez. Colletti prefers to "push things to the point that it's in their court to engage us in a serious negotiation."
Colletti did meet with Casey Close today, Close represents Zack Greinke. The Dodgers seem all but destined to sign Greinke no matter the cost, reports Jon Heyman. Heyman asked a Dodgers person about the team's budget, to which the reply was, "What budget?" Casey Close is about to get a nice little commission. The Rangers, Nationals, Angels, and Braves are some of the other teams showing interest in Greinke, but Heyman indicates the Dodgers are the heavy favorite. The Angels appear to have moved on from Grienke after the Rangers and Dodgers scared them off. Yeah, when I read that it made me chuckle.
Dylan Hernandez says Colletti is working with 10-12 teams about potential trades. I told you so. Do not rule anything out ladies and gentlemen. This team could look a lot different over the next several weeks.
"We're in on so many players that we might need two or three teams," joked Dodgers GM Ned Colletti today at the Winter Meetings in Nashville. Colletti says his team has gone from being an afterthought to being the go-to team whether they're involved or not.
James Shields is still one of the Dodgers favorite trade targets right now. And why not? He's mine too. Do it Ned, do it!

The best torrent client. Highly recommended.
A very reliable and easy-to-use torrent client without any bloatware, spyware or ads (like many other clients have these days).
@willydv If you cared enough you would know that 3.1.8 is buggy due to libtorrent having a bug with file preallocation. It is fixed now. You either wait for 3.1.9 or go to the forums and download a nightly or disable preallocation. Just so you know the new team(me) also released 3.0.11. Next time go to the forums or bugtracker and report your problems. Don't just give a 1-star review and disappear.

I have been working at Ciena full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Will only say about IT department based on my experience. Healthy and professional environment. Satisfactory compensation packages for most employees. Organization pays attention to professional development and education. Company tries to take care of its staff, makes an effort to keep people reasonably happy.
Cons – Professional growth is limited after a certain level due to the company size and due to fact that turn over is low, a good thing generally, but not good for employee growth. Many management positions remain occupied by staff who is there for years and since company size does not grow too much, new management position don't become open easily. Also hiring processes are very slow and the organization spends too much time on hiring on open position. Result is that good management position don't become available and other technical positions are not filled fast enough. Chronic shortage of staff because of slow hiring that forces to work harder.
Advice to Senior Management – Improve hiring processes.
Fill in open positions faster.
Setup CIO office under the CEO, not under CFO
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

text: It never hurts to insulate the hot lines. Not all systems are created equal, but yes, they do work. The longer the heat exchanger, the more heat it can extract. Dana has studied this a lot, I'm not up on the variations between brands. They're big in Canada since their climate makes the incoming water colder, so you use more hot to get the desired temp...warming up the cold means less hot to use. I'm not much further north, but I've measured incoming cold water at barely above freezing after a cold spell. The better ones use square tubing and split the stream into more than one to get more heat exchanger surface area.

Remember how, when Pat McCrory ran for governor of North Carolina last year, he promised not to pass any new abortion-related restrictions? Don't worry, neither does he. And barely two days after McCrory signed an anti-choice bill into law, the FemCare clinic–also known as the only abortion provider in Western North Carolina–has had its licensed suspended.
Officials with the state's Department of Health and Human Services say that the suspension is unrelated to the new law, and cited 23 violations. However, a statement released on behalf of the clinic alluded to the fact that those new regulations may have been a factor in the suspension: [Read more...]

Life Lessons: Practice The Presence
How well do you see and hear–airplanes? Our oldest son lives in Nashville and airplanes fly over his house on a regular basis. When he first moved there, he noticed them almost every time they flew over. If he didn't see them he would hear them. If he didn't hear them he would see them. The airplanes were fascinating to him, and he saw and heard them continually!
But after a while, he stopped seeing them, or even hearing them. They became invisible and mute to him. Of course this didn't happen just to him, it happens to most everyone. Yes, they are still flying all around them, but few seem to notice or care about them anymore. And if they do notice them, they are often considered an annoyance.
But it hasn't happened to me–at least not yet! I suppose airplanes are hardwired into my consciousness after many years of studying them, flying them, watching them, even listening to them. And even though I don't fly them much anymore, it doesn't seem to matter. Pretty much every time I see an airplane fly over, or anytime I hear that unique sound, I pay attention. In fact when I don't see or hear them, something doesn't seem right to me.
As I was flying recently I was watching what was going on below me. Cities passed beneath me, cars crawled along the tiny ribbons of road below me. People went on about their normal business–the vast majority of them never realizing that someone was watching them from above.
Of course no one cares if I'm that someone watching them! But, everyone should care that The SomeOne who never misses anything is watching them! He watches our every move, hears our every word, knows our every thought; and the vast majority of us ignore His omniscient omnipresence.
Unless we have trained ourselves in studying Him, talking with Him, and walking with Him, He will become invisible and mute to us. But when we make Him a priority in our lives, He becomes hardwired into our conscience and we can't help but see and hear Him everywhere! We begin to see the smallest movement of His shadow and to hear the faintest of His whispers. After all, our Maker cannot, nor should not be ignored!
Seen or heard God fly over lately? You can be sure that He has! Don't let Him become unimportant, or even a nuisance to you. Practice sensing His omniscient omnipresence! Bruce Hendrich is pastor at
Oak Street Baptist Church 804 Oak Street • Elizabethon, TN 37643 • 423.542.4022 • oakstreetbaptist.net

Re: UK Jive CommunityStephen Harvison Oct 11, 2011 8:18 AM (in response to Kim England)
Hi Kim,
With the amount of travelling you do - can you even call yourself a Brit? ;-)
I'd be keen to get involved in any UK community. Even though we probably all represent international companies, Jiveworld showed how valuable it is to have an opportunity to get together and talk face to face about issues we have in common.
Re: UK Jive Communitycfletcher Oct 11, 2011 8:46 AM (in response to Kim England)
Hi Kim,
I didn't get a chance to meet up with you at Jiveworld but would love to get involved. I work for Serco and we've been doing some informal networking with Nick and the BUPA guys which has been invaluable; would love to learn more from other UK Jive customers.
I also owe Stephen my embarrassing accent story which I didn't get round to telling him last week
Re: UK Jive CommunityNick Crawford Oct 11, 2011 8:52 AM (in response to cfletcher)
Hi all,
Yes please count Bupa in
Kim, sorry we didn't actually meet last week, but great job up there on the main stage and congrats!
Re: UK Jive CommunitySimon Levene Oct 11, 2011 9:04 AM (in response to Kim England)
Hi Kim - although on the 'potential' client list, I'd be interested in taking part in this group representing PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Re: UK Jive CommunityAudrey Scarff Oct 11, 2011 9:27 AM (in response to Kim England)
Yes please. A few of us from Thomson Reuters would love to come.
Re: UK Jive CommunityTim Wike Oct 11, 2011 5:25 PM (in response to Kim England)
Definitely interested. Great to meet some of you last week.
Re: UK Jive CommunityJohnSchwiller Oct 11, 2011 5:53 PM (in response to Kim England)
Hi Kim
Great to meet you as well. We are also very interested in being involved (as long as it isn't called J.U.G) and can also host later meetings in our London HQ.
We'll share our internal experiences and what we can about that with our clients - to the extent possible.
Re: UK Jive Communityalefiya Oct 26, 2011 7:32 AM (in response to Kim England)
Hi Kim - I would love to meet up and I look forward to getting to know everyone else. I think it is a great idea.
Re: UK Jive CommunityTom Ashworth Oct 27, 2011 7:01 AM (in response to Kim England)
Hi Kim,
We'd definitely be interested in this too .

Annual Filing Option Now Available for Direct Shippers in New York
July 16th, 2009
New York has recently amended its alcohol beverage tax regulations to allow certain wine distributors to file Form MT-40 (Wine Tax Return) on an annual basis rather than a monthly basis. Out-of-State wineries must be licensed by the New York State Liquor Authority as a direct shipper and submit the "Application for Annual Tax Return Filing Status for Certain Beer and Wine Manufacturers" (Form MT-38) in order to receive annual filing status. Form MT-40 should be submitted on a monthly basis until the Tax Department confirms that the request for annual filing status has been approved. Additional information can be found in the notice entitled, "Annual Filing Option Available for Certain Wine Distributors," published by the Department of Taxation and Finance on June 24, 2009.

Yews are slow-growing and can ultimately reach heights up to
130 feet, with trunk diameters up to 12 feet. Unlike most other coniferous
plants, yews can produce new shoots from bare wood. They can be very long-lived,
with several living specimens in Europe estimated to be about 3,000 years old.
Despite their potential longevity, they require well-drained soil, and will die
prematurely if the soil around their roots remains saturated.
All yews contain highly poisonous alkaloids in all parts
except the arils, which are edible and sweet. Birds can eat the arils with the
seed intact because their digestive systems cannot break down the seed coat to
release the poisons. However, humans and most domesticated animals like cattle
and horses can die from eating yew seeds or foliage. Deer are able to break down
the poisons and will eat yew foliage freely.

This collection of videos represents the University's mission to unleash student potential. Today, the nation is facing a crisis — 3.7 million jobs are going unfilled due to a lack of educated or skilled workers. These videos highlight how University of Phoenix is tackling this issue head-on through a variety of services.
Our education can move your career forward – with coursework structured around discoveries from leading employers, and resources, such as career-planning tools, to help you stay on your career track.
Whether you're shooting for the stars or something more earth-bound, the skills you learn here may help prepare you for the job you truly want.
It's possible to build an education around your goals with industry-aligned courses that work around your schedule, planning tools to help you focus your career path and opportunities to earn a scholarship.
The hardest part of college shouldn't be paying for it. Through our Phoenix Reward Scholarship Program, you could save up to $10,000 on your way to earning your undergraduate degree.
Even this NFL wide receiver knows how important it is to earn his degree. Find out more about what motivates him — and why he believes a bachelor's degree in communication will help shape his career in the future.
Sometimes, you need a little help finding your way to the right career. The Phoenix Career Guidance System™ is your personal GPS that helps you navigate that path. From exploring degree programs to looking at local job market conditions, you'll start to map out a course to a new position.
The Hall of Success proudly celebrates noteworthy University of Phoenix alumni who have achieved professional success.
Some decisions have the power to transform your life. Choosing where you get your education is one of them. Here are specific reasons why University of Phoenix should be the choice for you.
Having a team of people to rely on is one thing. Having hundreds of thousands across the country is another. When you graduate, you automatically become a member of the Alumni Association. This means that wherever you live, chances are high you'll be near someone who has earned the same type of education—and had the same experiences—you have.
The value of an education is only as good as the places it can take you. A University of Phoenix degree can connect you to many of today's top employers, helping you get to the next stop in your career.
At University of Phoenix your education is built to help move your career forward. Here's how:
You take classes that impact your career.
We work with leading employers to learn what you need to learn.
…while ensuring credits you've already earned pay off.
And we have career-planning tools to keep you on track every step of the way.
Plus, the freshman fifteen isn't really a thing here.
And graduation? It's just the beginning.
Because we build education around where you want to go so, you know, you can get the job you want.
Ready? Let's get to work.
Imagine if everything you learned led to the one job you always wanted. At University of Phoenix, we believe every education—not just ours—should be built around the career that you want. Imagine that.
That's a man interviewing for a job. No. Not that one. That one. The one who seems like he's already got the job 'cause he studied all the right courses from the get-go.
And that's an accountant, a mom, a University of Phoenix scholarship recipient, who used our unique--scratch that--awesome career-planning tool.
And that's a student, working late, with a day job, taking courses aligned with the industry that he's aiming to be in.
Ready to build an education around the career that you want? Let's get to work.
Larry Fitzgerald Jr.: When I was in school, Mom was battling cancer. Her main goal for me was to graduate from college — because she felt that with education, that's something that nobody can ever take from you.
When I look at my son and I tell him that "I want you to complete your degree," when I have mine in hand, it makes it a lot easier to press him about it.
[Speaking to his father, Larry Fitzgerald Sr.] I remember you coming down hard on us about the academics. If we didn't maintain a certain grade point average, that, you know, we weren't even going to be able to play.
Larry Fitzgerald Sr.: Education is that important to the Fitzgeralds. Your mother would've never married me without an education. And I would've never married her without one.
Larry Fitzgerald Jr.: I like to travel. University of Phoenix has the ideal program for somebody like myself. This is a tailor-made education because it allows me to work when it's convenient for me. It just works perfectly. You know, I even studied in Antarctica this year.
I want to do something with my degree. I would love to be in the journalism field and do some broadcasting. My major is going to help me with those endeavors.
We do a camp here in Minnesota every year. You know, what's the most important is that these young women and men, they learn skills that I feel are going to help them for life.
[Speaking to children at his Minnesota football camp] Hard work and dedication, teamwork, commitment to being better: Those are the things that I saw yesterday, and I want to continue to see those same things today.
I realized a couple of years ago that it wasn't going to be easy; it was going to be a serious commitment. Your mind always needs to be jogged, pushed, be strained. The doors that would've been closed if I didn't have my degree are now going to be open for me. And that's the thing that's most exciting.
[Logo and end card come up.]
At University of Phoenix, we know you can't afford wrong turns on the road
to your future. That's why we build tools like our Career Guidance System.
It's kind of like GPS, you know, for your career.
It walks you through different degree possibilities and even lets you explore local job market conditions, helping you map a clear course from the job you want, back to you.
Go to Phoenix.edu and get started today.
Let's get to work.
The Hall of Success. Here we honor the proud accomplishments of our students and alums. People like Maria Salazar, an executive director at American Red Cross.
Or Garlin Smith, video account director at Yahoo.
And for every Garlin, thousands more are hired by hundreds of top companies.
Each expanding the influence of our proud University of Phoenix network.
That's right, University of Phoenix. Enroll now. We've got a frame waiting for you.

RIDGWAY – The weekend of Sept. 16-19 will provide plenty of opportunity to experience the railroad heritage of the San Juan Mountains as the Ridgway Railroad Museum presents the ninth annual Ouray County Railroad Days and Narrow Gauge Symposium.
The weekend kicks off on Thursday and Friday with guided hikes along the route of Otto Mears' Silverton Railroad, from Red Mountain Pass to the Albany town site below Ironton. Thursday's route will go from the top of the pass to the Guston town site, and the Friday route will continue from Guston to the Corkscrew turntable, then to the railbed's terminus north of Ironton. Trip leader Don Paulson advises that these downhill hikes require some bushwhacking, so participants should wear long pants, bring lunch and weather gear, and be in good shape. Those interested should meet at the Corkscrew Gulch 4WD trailhead, 7.8 miles south of Ouray on U.S. Hwy. 550 by 9 a.m. Call Paulson at 970/325-0931 for information.
On Saturday the Ridgway Railroad Museum will host an open house from 9 a.m.-4 p.m., including demonstrations of RGS Motor 1 on the half hour. Saturday will also feature an open house at Paulson's extensive model layout between 10 a.m. and noon, and the Narrow Gauge Symposium at the United Church of the San Juans in Ridgway from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Then, at 7 p.m., George Niederauer will give an in-depth presentation on the restoration of Denver & Rio Grande locomotive 315 that often ran to Ouray.
The weekend will conclude on Sunday with guided tours of the routes of the Rio Grande Southern and the Ouray Branch of the Denver and Rio Grande. These will be car caravans with talks by museum staff at selected viewpoints. The RGS trip will leave the museum at 9:30 a.m. and return by 4 p.m., and the Ouray trip will leave at 10 a.m. Trips are limited to a maximum of eight cars, so pre-registration is encouraged.
